We Have Adopted A Peacock!!
February 12th, 2010 | categories: Grove News
In honor of the Coconut Grove Arts Festival this weekend I thought I would take the time today to make a very exciting announcement…..
The EWM Coconut Grove office will be part of The Coconut Grove Peacock Tour!
Fashioned after the Cows in Chicago, the Cinncinatti Pig Gig and The Flamingos of Miami Beach, The Coconut Grove Peacock Tour is an interactive public art exhibition. These larger than life fiberglass peacocks will be designed by local artists and sponsored by local businesses to benefit local charities. Our office is partnerng with Casa Valentina a local organization which helps young women transition successfully from foster care to independant living. You can find out more about Casa Valentina here.
Ed King is the artist who will design the peacock for our office. He is a graduate of the Art Institute of Miami and has lived in Miami for over 20 years. We will be meeting with him next week to discuss the design. The peacock will be placed directly in front of our EWM office.
About 20 peacocks will be on display throughout the Coconut Grove village for 6 months starting in late March, early April. At the end of their run, the peacocks will be auctioned off in a black tie charity event.
This is a very exciting thing for Coconut Grove as it will bring a lot of exposure to our town.
Many thanks to EWM Realtors, Inc. for its sponsorship of our Peacock!
